Axis & Allies Anniversary Edition More Details (article discussion)

thank you for the answer

Great purchase and you are one step closer to Global!

@Gen.Nehring:

Anybody get a peek of the ‘new sculpts’ and more, please post or let us know where to find them please?! Thanks guys!

I don’t think this will occur until someone actually gets their hands on it…

If I’m not mistaken, any promotional pictures of AA50 always seem to turn out to be recycled stock photos of the original version or some mix of various other versions.

I’m of the impression “new sculpts” means things new to AA50, but have actually been out for awhile in other newer versions of A&A like 1942SE or 1940 Global SE… I don’t think we’re getting new sculpts that have never been seen in any other A&A game before (but I am guessing on this conclusion).

I echo Tim and Fleetwood Dan.  They make great points.
Doesn’t matter that much if you’re talking '41 or '42.  Zhukov seems to be referring to '41, the fantasy scenario.  Even in '41, with less “cash”, I am known to buy 3 researchers J1.  They have all the units they need, but how much more powerful if they can get their 9 fighters to be long range or jets?  I’ve taken Hawaii in J1 in '41 with jets before.

Packrat, long range air with USA or Japan is devastating.  In my experience, it’s more potent than heavy bombers, with those powers.

In my experience (at least 30 tech games) tech does not favor one side over the other.  They can both afford their researchers, and both sides, as pointed out, get huge boosts from certain techs.

Hey everyone,

If you’re reading this, then I assume, like me, you love a good game of axis and allies. Throughout the many games I have played with my friends the one thing that was always the worst about playing was having to be the banker, and the banking system in general.  Its very time consuming, takes up more space, and is a messy way to keep track of income.  A while ago I wrote a program that does all the purchasing and income for the game, specifically the 50th anniversary edition, and me and my friends found it to be a great edition to playing.  The program works by having you enter in what you are going to purchase, and then the territories you capture on your turn, and based off this information keeps track of purchases throughout the game and each countries income.  It also automatically does bonuses and calculates in technology benefits. (if you’d like to give the program a try you can download it at: http://sites.google.com/site/dkat106inc/axis-and-allies-banker )  After using this program for some time I have decided to write a newer version of it and currently need help debugging some of the errors that are bound to occur in different situations.  If anyone would like to give a hand please email me at dkat106@charter.net, it would be greatly appreciated.  Also all suggestions of features to be added are greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance!

Bought mine a month ago for 82 bux off of amazon, guess i got lucky

@Bob_A_Mickelson:

I’ve seen a game where the allies lost after they took italy, but this is rather unsuprising due to italy’s small military power and income. I expect this is a rather unrare event.

I would agree

@mwindianapolis:

I would not think that italy should change sides. But it would be fun if italy could be it own side, and try to take over the world independant of germany and japan. long shot, but a true gammer could try.

Thats 2000 years too late    :roll:
